Method
Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.
Ingredients
500g fresh white crab meat
140g fresh mayonnaise (see below for mayonnaise recipe)
¼ – ½ teaspoon red chilli powder
¼ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
1 shallot, very finely chopped
Home Made Mayonnaise
It doesn’t take much effort – about 10 minutes to produce a smooth, glossy and preservative free delicious mayonnaise, which can then be spiced up with garlic or herbs. The first part of making the mayonnaise can be a bit tricky, but if you follow the recipe carefully you shouldn’t have any problems.
Mayonnaise Method
1. Whisk the yolks, mustard and vinegar together lightly in a large bowl.
2. Add one drop of oil to the yolk mixture and whisk it in well (easier with an electric whisk).
3. Keep adding one drop of oil at a time, making sure each drop is whisked in and blended well before adding the next drop.
4. After a few minutes the mixture will start to thicken, then you can add the oil a tablespoon at a time until all the oil has been added.
5. If you prefer the mayonnaise a bit lighter, add the 2 teaspoons of boiling water at the end, and if you want to make garlic mayonnaise add the crushed garlic as well.
Mayonnaise Ingredients
2 yolks
1 ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 ½ teaspoons white wine vinegar
300 ml groundnut oil
¼ teaspoon salt
1 clove crushed garlic
Additional Information
It’s best to use the mayonnaise as soon as it has been made as it contains raw egg; if not using it straight away keep it in the fridge in a clean airtight container or jar for 2 or 3 days at the most.
